P.S. Since I'm scraping the WW for TEs in some leagues, I dialed especially in on that position while reading (and I echo those below that this is terrific, valuable work!). For those interested, here is the (non-comprehensive) TE leaderboard in wTPRR; the paragraph/tier breaks are intentional. This has most of the big names; I may be missing a few. My anxiety over streaming the Cooks and Conklins of the world is assuaged a bit, while this reinforces the advantage of having Waller, Kelce, and...Gronk?:
Gronkowski - 0.63 (89)
Waller - 0.61 (132)
Kelce - 0.59 (106)
Gesicki - 0.54 (95) {this really surprised me!}
Fant - 0.48 (74)
Kittle - 0.47 (81)
Andrews - 0.46 (92)
Hockenson - 0.44 (114) {voluminous routes easily puts him above this group)
Schultz - 0.44 (74)
Conklin - 0.42 (79)
Cook - 0.40 (92)
Goedert - 0.37 (66) {ugh}
H. Henry - 0.36 (86) {could get more work in absence of White?}
Pitts - 0.34 (104) {would have assumed he'd be higher}
FANTASTIC article for updating ROS expectations. It took me about halfway through before the numbers started to mean anything to me. Then it clicked and I went back and reread the whole thing
I'm noticing that the wTPRR numbers here don't match up with the wTPRR numbers in the new Rotoviz SS app. Are they pulling different route run numbers (i.e., Kupp has 95 RR here but 84 RR on the RV app).
Ben. Great stuff. With the Falcons could the numbers for CPatt and Davis be because Ryan isn't pushing the ball down the field last year. Possibly a reflection on the OLine or the new HC scheme.
Interesting note on Minnesota: Mattison has run only 9 fewer routes than Cook and has seen greater volume per route. I would not have expected that, given Cook's snap-share dominance in the first two games. Not sure what to make of that, other than that it would appear Mattison is an elite RB start any time Cook misses (yup, still holding a grudge against AM based on that Atlanta game last year; you know the one). May Chuba Hubbard be as well utilized!
Ben, great stuff as always. Thinking in terms of ROS, would you drop Rondale for Christian Kirk given the early season target share for Kirk / think that holds ROS?
how is this free? goldmine
Buy the ticket, take the ride. It’s worth every penny

Great stuff!
Thanks -- the formatting from my Word doc. didn't quite carry over, but I hope it was clear and helps anyone else who needs it!
This article alone is worth the price of this newsletter. Amazing stuff.

Yep. I used PFF here, they are using SIS.
Seems like a pretty substantial difference? (At least in that Kupp example)

Yep, definitely a good explanation. Will be interesting to see if that stabilizes or is the new normal.

Holy crap this is brilliant. Thankyou Ben for all that you do!
Where can we access updated WOPR stats? It's not on the new Rotoviz stealing signals and iirc Josh Hermsmeyer's airyards site is no longer up.
RV I think had trouble getting it moved over but they have it in this tool: https://www.rotoviz.com/weekly-stats/
Thank you!!
I also might just be missing it on the rotoviz tool!
